Together with our company doctor and the trade association, we continuously develop our employees' workplaces from an ergonomic point of view.
Our employees are not anonymous individuals, but part of a whole. They come from different cultures, with different languages, skills and needs. We see this diversity as a valuable asset and an enrichment.
Fortunately, we have "clean water" in Germany. We also use our tap water as drinking water and have set up corresponding drinking water dispensers on each floor for this purpose.
Since 2010, we have been operating our photovoltaic system, which covers the entire roof of our production and logistics building. With this, we generate an average of 95,000 kWh of clean electricity per year.
We have already started to convert our company vehicles to hybrid vehicles. This will reduce emissions of particulate matter and improve air quality.
Energy consumption in IT is an essential point in sustainability considerations. We rely on energy-saving technologies for our computer systems. These are for example energy-efficient power supplies as well as energy-saving processors and chipsets.
The product life cycle of a product is an important factor when considering sustainability. The products we offer are designed for long-term operation. Here, 10 years is not uncommon. We achieve this through high MTBF times compared to consumer products.
We have invested in an energy-efficient company building at our headquarters. This includes good insulation, intelligent shading and efficient heating and air conditioning. The production and logistics building is equipped with energy-efficient turbulators
We have long since replaced our fluorescent tube lighting in production and logistics with energy-saving LED lighting.
All our industrial trucks (forklift trucks, multifunctional vehicles) are electrically powered. This is not only a contribution to climate protection, but also to a healthy workplace.
In our shipping division, we rely on renewable raw materials instead of plastic and use recycled paper for the filling material. This saves us a large amount of plastic, the production of which uses the finite resource of crude oil.
Wherever possible, we rely on regional companies for our partners and service providers. The local proximity results in lower expenses for travel and transport.
